The WJ V Technical Manual Abstract assessment service bulletin is now available via Riverside Insights (click here to download and read). Think of it as an abridged version of the massive WJ V Technical Manual (LaForte, Dailey & McGrew, 2025). Required reading for anyone interested in the WJ V. Of course, reading the complete “manifesto” is highly recommended.
This is a technical abstract for the Woodcock-Johnson® V (WJ V™; McGrew, Mather, LaForte, & Wendling, 2025), a comprehensive assessment system for measuring general intellectual ability (g), specific cognitive abilities, oral language abilities, and academic achievement from age 4 through 90+. It describes the updates, organization, and technical aspects of the WJ V, including reliability information and evidence to support the validity of the WJ V test and cluster score interpretations. While this document provides a high-level summary of these topics, readers should consult the Woodcock-Johnson V Technical Manual (LaForte et al., 2025) for more comprehensive documentation.
